Thanks for another great hookup guide. We made a ready neat project using this sensor. We 3d printed a sunflower and placed the photocell on its base. When the photocell detects light, it sends a signal to the Arduino which activates a servo motor. Check it out on the circuito.io project hub on Hackster.io

We made a cool project with this sensor, which we connected with Arduino Uno to an RGB LED that changes color according to the amount of carbon monoxide in the air. The sensor itself is connected to a helium balloon. You can find the project here >> http://www.instructables.com/id/Red-Balloon/
